X1900Xt on 430W??

Master Mind · 08-19-2006, 02:55 PM

i was wondering if i could run the X1900XT on a 430W PSU, or do i need more power? if so what PSU can you recommend?

430W is pushing it. How many amps do you have on the +12V Rail(s)?

Look at the sticker on the side of the PSU to find out.

Ati recommends a minimum of 30A on the +12V rail with a single X1900XT / XTX configuration.

its the thermal take 430W, the standard one that comes with the Matrix case.

never use a PSU that comes with a case
